Olive Oatman (age 14) was taken captive along with her sister, Mary Anne (age 7), by the Indians who had killed their family. Their brother, Lorenzo (age 15), was beaten and presumed dead. Although he was badly injured, he was alive and managed to make it to a settlement. The girls were traded by their captors to the Mojave Indians from whom Olive was eventually returned. The leader\u2019s wife and daughter held a deep affection for the girls who were given traditional tattoos. Mary Anne died of starvation after a harsh drought season, but Olive was eventually returned.
